Local county genealogical and historical organizations have copied, cataloged, and published records of local cemeteries. Most of these are in the collection at the Arkansas History Commission; many are in the Daughters of the American Revolution Library (DAR). Most of those in the DAR collection have been microfilmed by the FHL.

The Arkansas Family Historian, a publication of the Arkansas Genealogical Society (see Arkansas Periodicals, Newspapers, and Manuscript Collections), publishes transcriptions of gravestones from cemeteries, as do many local and regional periodicals. No statewide index to cemetery records exists, but notable publications include the following:

Daughters of the American Revolution, Prudence Hall Chapter. Index to Sources for Arkansas Cemetery Inscriptions. North Little Rock: Daughters of the American Revolution, ca. 1976. An excellent guide to compiled cemetery records for the state.

______. Confederate Soldiers Buried in Arkansas: A Compilation Representative of All Confederate States. Jacksonville, Ark.: the author, 1999. Contains an alphabetical list of soldiers with rank, service unit, cemetery where buried, and county. Some birth and death details are included.
